5 reasons your (current) mattress is not your best friend<\/h2>\n

\"IsSo. You\u2019ve enjoyed a relaxing bath, finished your evening meditation and sprinkled\u00a0sleep-inducing lavender oil<\/a>\u00a0on your pillow. Your next stop? Snoozeville, Sleep City. Right?<\/p>\n

But despite the facts \u2013 you\u2019ve had a busy day, you\u2019re exhausted and you\u2019ve followed a relaxing bedtime routine \u2013 sleep doesn\u2019t seem to be on your brain\u2019s travel schedule. After tossing and turning and stuffing your head under the pillow in exasperation, you\u2019re forced to come face to face with your evening enemy \u2013 and that dastardly sleep thief \u2013 your mattress.<\/p>\n

Remember the princess and the pea?<\/p>\n

Well, she wouldn\u2019t have sprouted such complaints, even noticed the lil fella, if she\u2019d had a half-decent mattress to begin with. But instead she managed a bruised back and a crappy sleep. Because of a pea. A pea!<\/p>\n

Hopefully there are no peas in your mattress, but here are 5 ways your mattress may be a pain your neck.\u00a0Or your back.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Mattress mood-killer \u2013 almost as bad as a sleep killer!<\/h3>\n

The secret joke of mattresses everywhere is a creaky spring. You\u2019ve finally gotten some\u00a0alone time with your partner<\/a>\u00a0after various work\/family\/pet commitments, and you\u2019re looking forward to making the most of it. The house is quiet, you make your move and\u2026Creeeak! Creeeak! Creaky, creak, creeeeeak!\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

BAM! Instant mood killer.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re trying to hide your tryst from other household members or just can\u2019t stop giggling every time you set off a chipmunk screech, a creaky mattress is designed to make sure you\u2019re not getting any (sleep) that night. Great\u2026<\/p>\n

2. Mattress hijinks and (un)avoidable injuries.<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ve all been there. We awake feeling rested after a great night\u2019s sleep, the sun\u2019s shining through the curtains and we\u2019re certain that today we\u2019ll get out of the right side of the bed. Unfortunately, our spring out of slumber is massively exaggerated by an overzealous mattress\u2026and we end up catapulting ourselves into the bedroom wall instead.<\/p>\n

No, you haven\u2019t done that? Hmm. Must just be us, then.<\/p>\n

Ok, here\u2019s one we\u2019re sure you can relate to. If you\u2019ve got little ones, a favorite activity is probably jumping on the bed. (Because let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s unbelievably entertaining.) And this has probably led to sprained wrists, twisted ankles or at the very least, an egg-shaped bruise on the noggin.\u00a0Mattress: 1, Humans: 0.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Who are we kidding, this doesn\u2019t just happen to kids. Jumping on the bed is a fun and\u00a0dangerous adult sport<\/a>, too.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Mattress deflation, a letdown of epic proportions.<\/h3>\n

If camping mattresses could talk, oh the stories they\u2019d tell. Whether you\u2019re at a music festival or soaking up the great outdoors, a good camping mattress can be your best friend at the end of a\u00a0weary travel day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So imagine flopping onto it in exhaustion, only to have it rudely deflate beneath your tired bones. Not cool, mattress. Not cool at all.<\/p>\n

4. Mattress infestation, the creepy crawlies that destroy a good night\u2019s sleep.<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve ever been a backpacker and spent time in hostels, you\u2019ll know all about the evils of a\u00a0bedbug-ridden mattress<\/a>. Nearly invisible to the eye but as sleuth-like as Sherlock, these little guys will leave their mark long after you\u2019ve bedded elsewhere. They lay eggs in your clothes and in your bag. So just when you think you\u2019re rid of them, those familiar red spots appear. Cue cackling laughs from the mattress hiding the little buggers.<\/p>\n

\"Is5. Goldilocks\u2019 syndrome and how to win at shopping for a new mattress.<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a huge selection of mattresses out there. And since we all have different needs, bodies, and preferences, how are we expected to find \u2018The One\u2019?<\/p>\n

Some will feel too firm, others too soft; it might seem impossible to find one that\u2019s just right. But persevere, weary traveler. Because although you might have to kiss many frogs, you\u2019re bound to find your prince in the end. And when you do, your mattress will become less like a frenemy, and more like a friend.<\/p>\n

Remember, buying a mattress is like getting married, especially considering how much time you\u2019ll spend with it. It\u2019ll have to put up with a lot of different sleep positions, sharing those bed-jumping highs and those pillow-thumping lows. But ultimately, it will be there to hold you every night. And isn\u2019t that the \u2018happy ending\u2019 we\u2019re all in search of?!<\/p>\n

Rest well & wake up ready to go!<\/h2>\n

Better sleep gives rise to better mornings, bringing your goals into focus and dreams within reach. Hungry for more sleep info? Dig into these posts:<\/p>\n
